By the Asroclated Press. CHICAGO, May 11.—Contracting shop repair work to outside firms by a railroad company was declared a vio- lation of the transportation act and contract provisions conflicting with the wages and working rules laid down by the Railroad Labor Board, were de- clared illegal in a decision handed down by the board yesterday. The decision was characterized by the boaxd as the nost important it has rendered since its establishment, The decision, which is the first of a series to be handed down on disputes over “farming out” raflroad labor, was made in the controversy between the union shop crafts and the Indiana Har- bor Belt Railroad. The board declared its pronouncement went “to the vitals of the transportation act.” *No more important dispute.” the decision added, “has ever come before this board for adjudication.” While® the decisfon applied only to the one'road, which last September con- tracted its repair work to the Burnham Car Repair Company, the generul | 5 prin. ciples established will govern all sub- sequent decisions.

The largest young women's Bible class in the world, the Burrall Class of the Calvary Baptist Church, 8th and H streets northwest, gave a banquet in honor of the founder of the class, Miss Jessie E. Burrall, in the basement of the church last night. A thousand members of the various groups turned the church into a menagerie as they marched into the banquet hall to the call of their group names.

Clans Songs Sung. Every one was lively, from the BEACHLEY. tigers to the pups. and they gave full vent to their feelings as they sang the various songs and shouted the class cheers that were on the pro- gram. Tribute was paid to Miss Burrall, who came from Columbia. Mo., where she is now in charge of the religious work at St. Stephen’s College, to at- tend the banquet.

Rules vary- ing from those laid down by the board are likewiss, in effect, declared illegal, and the contractor's employes restored to the working rules pro- mulgated by the board.

The Indiana Harbor Belt case was one of the first to come before the board, the first contract belng let by the road January 29, 1921. Subse- quent agreements extended opera- tions of the repair company until a contract on September 16, 1921, gave the repair work to the Burnham Com- pany. “Meanwhile, similar_cases ap- peared on the Erie, New York Cen- tral, Missouri, Kansas and Texas: Michigan Central and numerous other roads. Some of the contracts have resulted in strikes and all haye brought protests to the board. % The Burnham Company put its em- ployes on a piecework basis, the com- pany contending that the employes earned more money per hour thereby than under the hourly rate fixed by the boatd. The unions admitted that the compensation amounted to about the same, although they claimed losses in elimination of punitive over- time and the advantages of certain working rules granted by the board. The union complained that the Burn- ham contracts were merely subter- fuges to evade the transportation act and the decislons of the board and were not made in good faith. The board stated, however, that these charges were not substantiated. The unions had made threats of striking, however, unless the board restored the rights held by railway shopmen to the contractors’ employes. It is estimated that about 150,000 shopmen are now in the employ of contractors. A strike vote on the contract question is now being taken by the six shop crafts unions.

NEW YORK, May 11.—Robert S. Parsons, general manager of the frie railroad, which has cases before the railroad board similar to the case of the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad, said here that the question of farm- ing out labor is too broad to be af- fected by this single decision. “We don't think there is anything to prevent us from letting contracts of this nature wherever we see fit," he said. “The bulk of railroad work is done through the letting of con- tracts, anyway. We have never hesi- tated to fet work outside of the shop whenever such a course represented a saving of money. In many in- stances ;we have not had the facili- COLISEUM, 9th and Pa.
